  • Comment on (A): Cynoglossum officinale L., hound's tongue, Gewöhnliche Hundszunge

    Identification based on etymology: OE hundes tunge and OHG hunteszunga (Pritzel / Jessen 1967,125) go back to Gk κυνογλωσσον (also cf. →cuneglæsse) and L LINGUA CANIS (because of the tongue-shaped leaves, cf. Hegi 1906,V,2147). Other possible identifications are Plantago lanceolata L., ribwort plantain, Spitzwegerich (cf. LINKTO [ribbe]).

  • Comment on (B): Anchusa L., alkanet, Ochsenzunge

    According to Hunger (1935,167) BUGLOSSA denotes Lycopsis arvensis L., a plant which is related to the Anchusa genus. Both plants share vernacular names (cf. Marzell 2000,I,262). Old names are BUGLOSSA, LINGUA BUBULA; Anchusa officinalis is denoted by names shared with C. officinalis, like "hundeszunge 'BUGLOSSA' ahd.Gl. 3,537,22 (13.Jh.)/ Rothe Hundszunge Nemn.1,287/ Hunnetunge 1858 Schambach 89."(Marzell 2000,I,263).
